So I lied, one day late. Sue me xD Anyways, here's the next chapter. I'm winging it. Because it isn't planned out :L Magic fingers do your thing.

The sun began to rise above the city sky scrapers. It touched them with a golden glow, which reflected greatly into the city. In Central Park, our Duo sat still deeply asleep, and there nearby sat Vinny. He looked at them, and considered what he'd done for them. They were nice birds. Didn't want any trouble, and just wanted to enjoy this massive city. Vinny had heard, from his many sources, that these birds could fetch quite a penny on the open market. However, he wasn't interested in harming anyone. Especially tourists. He stared into the beginning dawn, and decided that he may as well explain things to them. Who knows, they might be useful some day. Soon, there beaks elicited quiet yawns as they awoke.

"Ohhh, Man. What a rough night." said Blu, just peaking over his mates shoulder. Jewel turned to look at him and said "Your telling me. I was knocked unconscious yesterday, by a gang on no-good pigeons." Blu got up and started walking around. "Not to mention getting rescued by a real life Al Pacino." Jewel gave Blu a funny look. "A real life who?" Jewel asked, not really caring for an answer. "He plays the Godfather, in the movie The Godfather...Don't worry Jewel, it's not that important." said Blu, realizing it wasn't that important, and that the info wasn't needed. They looked around, and saw Vinny. "Well, I dunno about Al Pacino, but I'm not a Godfather." said Vinny, chuckling.

Jewel got up quickly "Alright Mr. Big Shot, I need some answers, and I need them now." said Jewel in a fiery tone. Vinny looked at Jewel unphased. "Viscious one isn't she." he said, keeping an even tone. Blu nervously chuckled "Yeah, she can be." he said, which earned him a posionous look from his mate. "Well, if you must know, I'm not an organizer of crime, but rather I help prevent it." Vinny said, looking towards Blu, whom looked skeptical. Jewel backed off, seeing that her threats weren't going to help her much. "You see, I run a business, of trying to prevent crimes, mostly bird related." said the Rock Dove, still monotone. "Smugglings, killings, and that sort. Though, I do help with tourists as well. Which sometimes goes hand in hand." He looked towards the couple.

"You two are some well known birds within the smuggling community. Well known rare birds. I wanted to keep an eye on you, to make sure you didn't run into trouble." said Vinny. Blu and Jewel exchanged looks of shock, while Vinny continued. "In fact, so far, there hasn't been trouble, besides the punks in brooklyn." Vinny looked towards them, and waited for the questions. "So what were those punks going to do to us?" asked Jewel, shaken just recounting the experience. "Most likely beat you till you were black and, forgive the pun, blue." said Vinny. "But they're not a real problem. One talk to the parents, and that straightens them out." said the Pigeon. Blu thought for a moment, and asked "How long have you been running this "Business" ?" asked Blu, putting air quotes around Business. Vinny thought for a moment, and said "About 10 years. Give or take a few." Jewel thought of another question. "Don't suppose you have a branch in Rio?" she said, hoping to set him up for an attack. "Sadly no. And I do know that many birds come out from there, smuggling, and usually forced. However, it's hard to stay global, when you don't have communications." said Vinny. Jewel burst out with an attack "Why not go to where you're need most them!" she said, lashing out at him. Vinny responded "Because it's hard to stay global, as I mentioned before. And Rio isn't exaclty technological capital of the world. Besides, getting trainers down there to help is difficult." said Vinny. This time it was Blu, who questioned him. "But, we arrived here by plane, and it was fairly easy. Just stow on and enjoy the 12 hour trip." Vinny stopped to think about this, and said "Well I think many of our agents would be first time flyers, and half of them don't trust the things."

Blu thought about this for a moment...Maybe he could help somehow... "What if I bring them along with me and Jewel?" Jewel turned to Blu and said "Are you crazy? How can you trust this bird? We hardly know him!" "But he seems to be a good guy Jewel. Besides, I wouldn't wish a smuggling fate for any bird in Rio." Jewel looked furiously at him, and said "I don't care, we're not bringing some birds from some agency, that we've never even heard of, on a flight with us!" said Jewel, very upset. Blu looked at her and said. "Fine. We won't bring them." said Blu. Surprised, Jewel looked at him questioningly. "Good..." she said, still skeptical. Vinny spoke up, after this debate and said "Well, I think it's time for you two to continue enjoying your vacation." Blu smiled and looked towards Jewel. "And I know just the place, to enjoy our last day." And he flew off, out an open window. "Blu, BLU!" she shouted after him. "Where are you going!" Until she realized she'd have to follow him, or be stuck there with Vinny. She quickly left the shack.

"Blu, wait up!" she said, flapping frantically after Blu. Blu slowed down and let her approach closer. "Where in the name of Rio are you taking me?" He looked mischievously towards Jewel, and took a sharp turn. "Hey!" She squawked and struggled to follow. After many dips and turns, Blu finally slowed down, near a abandoned factory. "What could possibly be here that could make our vacation better? A little mirror?" she said. Blu chuckled and said, "Just watch this." He said. As he appreached a door, he slid his head under, and motioned for Jewel to follow. Up ahead was a curtain, and there was a slight part in the middle. Blu watched as he pulled back the curtain, and Jewel's eyes lit up. "Mue Deus" she said, before, a beat picked up. It was a club. Filled with many greay feathers, however, it had many colors as well. It was as upbeat as The Branch, but in a different beat. It was a quick tempo, though obviously not samba. A beautiful Dove, appeared in the middle, and began.

"Party Rock!" As he spoke the crowd cheered louder.

YEA

Everybody just have a good time

The Crowd paused for a moment, until the next lyric came.

As the music stopped, he birds stopped jumping up and down, which was shaking the entire place. A lot of them laughed , and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Jewel even got caught up in the jumping frenzy, which Blu laughed at, then quickly joined in. After the song, they wound up in the middle of the dance floor, which made them a bit uncomfortable. As they stood in the middle unsure of what to do, the Dove who seemed to be leading the song, flew up next to them. "First time here?" asked the dove. "Sorta," said Blu. "I've been here once before but didn't join in." said Blu. "However this is her first time." Jewel stared at Blu, but didn't say anything. "Well, I can tell your out-of-towners." said the Dove. "Being Blu Macaws is sorta rare here." he said. "Anyways, I'm Rick. Nice to meet ya!" he said, very friendly. "I'm Blu, and this is Jewel, my mate." he said, hoping to ward off any potential rivalries...Which was strange for him. "Well you certainly got a hot wing!" said Rick, staring at Jewel. Jewel, feeling awkward being stared at, said "His Hot Wing." she clarified. "Of course, of course. Sorry." he said. "I'm a bit of a womanizer." he said with a sly smile. "So what brings you to the Big Apple?" he said, but before Jewel could ask what the Big Apple was, Blu clarified. "What brings us to New York, is just a vacation from Rio." Rick thought about this and said "You know, I think I got some cousins in Rio...Can't remember the names though..."

"Nico and Pedro?" offered Jewel, thinking this Rick, reminded her of those two greatly. "Actually, I think I've heard of those two!" said Rick. "They live in Rio Right? I remember them came up for a visit too!" said the eager Dove. Blu and Jewel exchanged looks of surprise. "Make sure if you see those two, tell em' Rick said hi!" Blu nodded, while Jewel looked apprehensive. "Don't worry Jewel, think of this as a new oppurtunity." Jewel looked at Blu and spoke venomously "An oppurtunity for what?" "Well, to meet new friends, and to have some fun!" he said, and he unexpectedly spun her around, and she began laughing. "Whats gotten into you!" She said giggling. Blu had a very serious look into her eyes, and said "Because I want to spend every moment of this with you." Jewel blushed at this, then said happily "Lets get started then!"

Well that was fun! Idk about making Vinny the bird police, but I didn't want him to be a bad guy xD We still might have a fighting force for Rio yet! Until then Enjoy, and leave a review please!
